George Soros has bankrolled the radical Left's agenda for decades.
But investigators just exposed something far more sinister than anyone imagined.
And an explosive investigation just caught Soros funding seven pro-terror organizations.
The dark money machine fueling leftist chaos
A bombshell investigation by the Capital Research Center exposed how billionaire George Soros and his allies have funneled over $80 million to radical groups connected to terrorism and domestic violence.
The scale of this operation is staggering.
Soros's Open Society Foundations awarded more than $23 million to seven organizations that "directly assist domestic terrorism and criminality" in the United States, according to the Capital Research Center report.
These aren't fringe organizations operating out of basements.
They're sophisticated networks coordinating riots, providing material support to Hamas sympathizers, and training activists in violent "direct action" tactics that the FBI classifies as domestic terrorism.
The report, authored by Ryan Mauro, reveals Open Society dumped $18 million into the Movement for Black Lives, a group that published a guide glorifying Hamas's October 7 massacre and instructing activists on using false IDs, setting up blockades, and causing economic disruption.
But it gets worse.
Open Society sent more than $2.3 million to Al-Haq, a West Bank organization with documented ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which both the European Union and United States designate as a foreign terrorist organization.
The U.S. State Department sanctioned Al-Haq in September 2025, citing its role in campaigns that "directly engaged in the International Criminal Court's illegitimate targeting of Israel."
That means Soros financed not just domestic extremist groups, but organizations actively working with designated terrorist networks overseas.
President Donald Trump has taken notice.
During an August announcement about designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, Trump told The Center Square he's discussed bringing federal RICO charges against these organizations and their donors with Attorney General Pam Bondi.
"There are other groups, yeah, there are other groups," Trump said. "We have some pretty radical groups, and they got away with murder."
The Tides and Arabella money-laundering operation
The Soros network doesn't operate alone.
The investigation uncovered a massive "dark money" apparatus centered around the Tides Foundation and Arabella Advisors that pulled in $3.7 billion in 2020 alone.
The Tides Center, which received $37.8 million in taxpayer money in 2024, has spent millions funding groups dedicated to expanding abortion access, lobbying for affirmative action, helping illegal aliens pay their way out of detention facilities, advocating against "police terror," and promoting sex-change procedures.
Throughout 2024, Tides sent $48,500 to the Oregon-based Civil Liberties Defense Center, which provides legal guidance and representation specifically to Antifa protesters and other radical leftist movements.
That group is now suing the Trump administration over regulations meant to control disruptive protests at Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities.
The Tides Foundation also funded Jewish Voice for Peace, the Council on American Islamic Relations, IfNotNow, Code Pink, and groups supporting Students for Justice in Palestine and American Muslims for Palestine—organizations involved in the violent campus protests that erupted across America in 2024 and 2025.
But the real power player in the Left's dark money network is Arabella Advisors.
This Washington, D.C. consulting firm operated what researchers call "the most powerful liberal lobbying force in Washington" for nearly 15 years before conservatives even knew it existed.
Arabella was formed in 2005 by Eric Kessler, a former Clinton administration staffer, to help wealthy liberal donors spend their money while concealing their identities.
The firm manages five nonprofits—New Venture Fund, Sixteen Thirty Fund, Hopewell Fund, Windward Fund, and North Fund—that collectively raked in over $1 billion in anonymous funding to liberal groups and causes since Trump took office in his first term.
These groups function as fiscal sponsors, housing various activist projects that don't register as separate entities.
This system allows billionaire donors to fund radical initiatives without anyone knowing where the money actually goes.
Financial disclosures show Soros's Open Society Foundations pumped $36 million into Arabella's New Venture Fund in 2021 alone.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation donated at least $490 million to Arabella between 2008 and 2022.
The Ford Foundation granted $26.7 million to the New Venture Fund in 2021.
Trump administration targets the funding networks
The pressure from Trump's return to the White House is already having an effect.
Arabella Advisors officially "ceased operations" on November 17, 2025, according to an automated email response.
But don't break out the champagne yet.
The dark money behemoth didn't really die—it just changed its name.
Arabella filed paperwork with the Virginia State Corporation Commission seeking a name change to "Vital Impact."
Its fiscal sponsorship business, including infrastructure and 243 staff members, got absorbed into a new entity called Sunflower Services.
And who financed Sunflower Services? The same New Venture Fund, Windward Fund, and Hopewell Fund that were Arabella clients.
The rebranding came two months after President Trump issued a memorandum on "countering domestic terrorism and organized political violence" that specifically targets "organized structures, networks, entities, organizations," and funding sources allegedly behind the violence.
Trump's executive order requiring political appointees to review federal grants aims to prevent the "offensive waste of tax dollars" that characterized previous administrations.
Congressional Republicans are also turning up the heat.
The House DOGE Subcommittee held hearings examining how USAID funneled taxpayer money to the Left's dark money network.
Tyler O'Neil, author of "The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government," testified that USAID awarded more than $800,000 to Arabella's New Venture Fund and $27 million to the Tides Center.
Former USAID staff members have also gone to work for these dark money networks, creating a revolving door between government and radical activism.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who chairs the subcommittee, didn't mince words.
"The Democrat-run USAID should not get to use our federal government, our U.S. taxpayer dollars, as their party piggy bank to push their radical agenda in countries that we have no business giving money to," Greene said.
Rep. Cloud put it even more bluntly: The government has forced the "American people to pay for the demise of their own country."
The American people elected Donald Trump to drain the swamp and cut off funding to radical left-wing groups.
Now Trump has the receipts showing exactly how the dark money machine operated—and he's coming for their piggy bank.
